Pet care is something’s I do not take lightly. The responsibility of pet care is a serious commitment to ensure I can provide the best care possible I require 5 days notice for booking request from new clients. This is to allow ample time to set up meet and greets with your family and pets, during these meetings we discuss what it is you’re looking for in a pet care companion, any special needs to modifications your pet may need and of course make sure our pet is comfortable with me. After all we will be spending lots of time together and that’s always more fun with a friend. Communication in regards to behavioral and health conditions with your pet allows me the chance to make appropriate accommodations for you and your pet. Please allow 24 hours for me to confirm a booking given the needed information is provided.

Safety, trust & environment

In the area of Natrona Heights my quiet and balanced home holds 15lb terrier mix, 10lb chihuahua mix and 2 sociable adult cats. A child free home for those pets that just prefer a calmer and more stable environment. Orthopedic dog beds o plenty, a room just for overnight guests with nightlights and shared by Doug, my terrier who typically sleep in bed with me. Leash walks can be solo activities or a pack walk, I’m comfortable with most leash/walking accessories but I do not/will not use flexi leads, I carry a small first aid kit, doggy bags, extra leashes, treats and a flash light with me on all outings.

Information Katlyn A. would like to know about your pet

I am very open to all breeds in my homes, I’ve been a Pittie lover all my life and have experience with all breeds. I do have cats at home and would like to keep them safe and happy as well, a cat friendly mostly house trained pet is preferred. Any allergies or medical conditions need to be shared before I take over care of your pets. Pet preferences with other animals, any medications or specific schedules that need to be followed should be disclosed prior to booking is confirmed. As well as any behavioral triggers or reactivity issues.

A typical day

Hiking, trail walks, lake days, community Pack walks, puzzle/environmental enrichment activities. Field trips and park visits are my favorite for active dogs but a lazy day indoors with puzzle toys sounds great too.

Pet care experience

I have loved and lost many pets in my life and know how precious each and every moment is. Each day your pets should be loved and appreciated as if it was their last, through enrichment and affection dedicating time to meet your pets needs while you’re away or busy is my priority. I am comfortable with nearly all breeds, Brachiocephalic's such as English bulldogs and frenchies are the breeds I care for with caution due to their compromised air ways. I’m no stranger to making accommodations for your pet and am happy to discuss all their special needs and restrictions with you. I’ve dedicated the last 8 years of my life to veterinary medicine, I look forward to using all the knowledge and animal care experience to provide the best care possible for all your furry, or hairless best friends.

I cannot recommend Katlyn enough! She took such amazing care of my dogs while we were away. From the moment we met at the meet and greet, I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her hands. She brought a notebook to take notes and was very thorough in the interview process. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure they had everything they needed—walks, playtime, snuggles, and lots of love. She also kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pups were happy, relaxed, and clearly adored her. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely book again with Katlyn!

Katlyn is absolutely wonderful! She is professional, thorough, and compassionate. I can be a nervous pet parent, and she truly put me at ease. We already have our next booking scheduled! Thank you, Katlyn!

Your cats have never been well taken care of until they’ve been taken care of by Katlyn. Katlyn is an absolutely amazing sitter. we’ve booked her four or five times now and will continue to do so. Our cat was a bit sick once and she did an incredible job administering his medicine. Quite frankly, she did it much better than we do. She goes above and beyond and will even grab our mail for us and tidy up the cat toys before we return home. I can be anxious when I’m away from my cats, but I don’t feel that when Katlyn is watching them . Do your cats a favor and book katlyn for your next trip out of town.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
